The Country Director of the KOICA Kenya Office, Dr. Jang Hee Im, paid courtesy call to Kibabii University on 4th April, 2024. He was received by Prof. Donald Siamba, the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Administration, Finance and Development, who represented the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Isaac Ipara Odeo. The team comprising officers from KOICA Kenya, County Government of Bungoma, and NZOWASCO, visited the University to inspect the progress of the connectivity and flow of the second phase of the KOICA Chepyuk-Kibabii Complex Water Supply Project which was connected to the University in the pilot phase.
In his remarks, Prof. Siamba commended the KOICA team for ensuring Kibabii University is one of the biggest beneficiary in the KOICA Phase II Water Project. He expressed his joy on the progress made so far and thanked the team on behalf of the Vice Chancellor, noting that the University was keenly following the progress of the Project since it would solve the long-term water shortage affecting the University, and would contribute to improving the overall state of sanitation and hygiene by increasing water supply and access by our main client, the students.
The KOICA Country Director noted that the Koreans were pleased to see the students stay connected to clean water. He was also particularly impressed with the University’s infrastructural facilities, captivating landscape and beautiful scenery. He lauded the University for the partnership and investments for future generations. The Project is set to be commissioned in May, 2024.
